ok, get this - the flag they have is the top one, the 'battle flag'... that might, not sure, but it MIGHT be illegal to run that flag since you are running the colours of a foreign combatant. The middle one is more grey and might be covered by our limited free speech.

Bottom one fits well with our French heritage

Well, that's the seamless "beauty" of confederate flags/Trumpism. If all you want to do is give people the middle finger you don't need to be logical. In fact, logic is usually one of the things they're giving the middle finger to.

It's not that the politics don't matter it's that these Canada conserva-shills are so invested in Trump/GOP as if they're in the party and actual US citizens. Its baffling.

I've lived on Vancouver Island 95% of my life. They exist there too.

It's because they're

a) racist

b) ignorant

c) contrarian

d) have 0 cultural connection to the South whatsoever

e) all of the above

Throw homophobic in too. They always own a truck. They're trying to play a character and succeeding in all of the wrong ways.

A Nazi flag is next level :\

There was another flag too? Maybe the original Canadian flag? Some White Nationalists use that and make a big deal about Canada being a British Colony for white people.

Are you seriously interpreting my post to be directed at the Canadians in this topic condemning the flags, rather than being about at the flags which the topic is about?

there is sooo much propaganda and mental gymnastics in the rural south about how it isnt racist at all because blah blah blah actually just a symbol of southern pride

none of it holds up to even a minor amount of scrutiny but people parrot it to each other left and right and they go crazy when someone displays it cause to them its just a cool middle finger to rules

It can mean whatever they want it to mean to themselves. It's still a hate symbol and that just isn't a thing they can challenge. When they chose to affiliate with it they are making that choice.

It's a more universal thing at this point, it's all over europe. It's like how that Dylan Roof dude wore the Rhodesian flag.

This post is a great example of not needing to be logical.

d) have 0 cultural connection to the South whatsoever

Which has nothing to do with the rest. After all, most of the people there aren't from the American South but they don't do it.

Throw homophobic in too. They always own a truck.

It's a symbol for racism,

Heritage, not hate... well, in this case, it's probably not heritage. It's either for the association with a rebel spirit (a la Dukes of Hazzard) or for the racist connotations.

Lokarin posted...

Probably because it's more famous and therefore more likely to garner attention... as well being easier to get.

No, associating with hate groups generally outs you as a homophobe. Insecure racist Albertans usually own a truck too. Owning a truck isn't homophobic. You read what I wrote wrong, or how you wanted to.

Because it's a weird fucking thing to highlight and the fact that you're highlighting it makes that kind of an implication. Not to mention that it's weird to see you protest one kind of bigotry while advancing another. And it's such an oddly specific bigotry that there isn't even a good word for it, since ochophobia is too general.

Making fun of people isn't bigotry. People make fun of attributes of mine, including where I'm from quite regularly, and it can all be done in humour. Dude. Obviously someone with those flags is a racist. Many Albertan racists own trucks. It's a joke, go cry. Plus, it's a joke at the expense of Nazi-sympathizers. I could literally make this joke with friends of mine that own trucks, and they would not give a flying fuck. Is everybody that owns a truck supposed to shit themselves and band together whenever a joke is made involving assholes with trucks? Jesus H. fucking Christ.

I've also seen a truckload of Albertans in Tofino with surfboards - I joked that they should just move - why waste gas living in the wrong province?

Contort yourself more to semi-defend this and whine about my sense of humour. At least you said it's likely because they're racist at one point.
